Abstract:
The insertion of new forest operation methods can beneficially alter plant growth, bringing greater increments to a forest. Thus, this work was carried out aiming to study biomass, carbon and nutrient allocation in the first eucalyptus sprouting interventions. The study was developed at the Forestry II farm belonging to the COMIGO Cooperative located in Rio Verde - GO. The design used was randomized blocks with two treatments and four replications. The applied treatments were: early unfolding and conventional unfolding. Seventeen months after clearing the forest, one tree per plot was harvested to quantify biomass, carbon and nutrient allocation. Regarding biomass, carbon and nutrients per tree, the study showed no statistical difference between the early and conventional offspring treatments, but when the biomass, carbon and nutrients value per hectare was analyzed, there was a significant statistical difference between treatments, caused by the low survival in conventional unfolding treatment, showing greater increase for biomass, carbon and nutrients for early unfolding treatment.
